Abadox is a Nintendo game, subtitled "The Deadly Inner War," in which the player, as Second Lieutenant Nazal, battles an alien, Parasitis, that has engulfed the entire planet Abadox, digested it, and assumed its shape. He must fly into the alien's body in an attempt to rescue the swallowed Princess Maria. There are six stages, each divided into two parts:

• Stage 1 - Surface/Mouth
• Stage 2 - Throat/Esophagus
• Stage 3 - Forest of blue nerves/Inner sanctum
• Stage 4 - Stomach/Final digestive chamber
• Stage 5 - Intestine/Nerve center
• Stage 6 - Tube of death/Core

Abadox has received a degree of increased popularity recently as a result of a Gamespot user video depicting a player's repeated (and very humourous) unsuccessful attempts to complete the first level. It is claimed by the player featured, who goes by the nick 'masoumi', as well as many others in the attached message boards, to be one of the hardest games ever made.
